Trump Revives Controversial Travel Ban Targeting Dozen Countries Amid National Security Concerns

• Share on:

President Donald Trump has reinstated a travel ban, effective Monday, prohibiting entry to the United States for individuals from twelve countries including Afghanistan, Iran, and Libya, while imposing heightened restrictions on visitors from seven additional nations. Trump linked the ban to national security concerns following a recent attack in Boulder, Colorado, by an Egyptian man living in the U.S. illegally, asserting that the severity of restrictions would vary based on perceived threats. Additionally, Trump has ordered an investigation into former President Joe Biden's use of an autopen for signing documents, amid ongoing claims from House Republicans regarding Biden's cognitive state.
